Or you can wait until you get what you want? It’s not like the 6800/6800xt are in stock anyways. Also it looks like all the AMD AIBs are directly inflating their prices so it’s more for a 6800xt than it is for a 3080 if you can get your hands on one.

AMD paper pricing on 6800xt

From strictly non-RT related performance, AMD has a very compelling product right now.

The pricing is all fricked though for several reasons. AMD is using TSMC for their PS5/Xbox chips, Ryzen 5000 7 NM chips, and now their RX 5000/6000 series GPUs.

I still think either AMD or Nvidia right now gets you great performance one way or the other, but if you need RT, definitely go Nvidia.

EDIT: Like I said, its really, whatever you can get your hands on.

The entire PC market right now is fricked because so many people are still WFH or quarantined, so processors and GPU prices are just so messed up.
